Arc Raiders’ Bird City Event: How to Farm Trinkets and Rubber Ducks in a Limited-Time Twist on Buried City

The Bird City modifier in *Arc Raiders* turns Buried City into a high-stakes trinket farm—if you can catch the narrow windows. Here’s how it works and why players are rushing to climb chimneys during its brief, daily appearances.

Few moments in Arc Raiders feel as fleeting as Bird City. This map modifier transforms Buried City into a chaotic, feather-filled playground where every chimney hides a nest brimming with trinkets, rubber ducks, and easy coin flips—but only for one hour, three times a day. Miss the window, and you’ll have to wait another eight hours for another shot at looting nests that drop rare items like the Familiar Duck (worth 7,000 coins) or basic crafting materials with minimal effort.

The twist? Bird City isn’t a standalone event. It’s a temporary overlay on Buried City matchmaking, replacing standard gameplay with a sky-themed scavenger hunt. No new nodes, no separate queue—just a sudden influx of birds, ziplines, and lootable rooftops. For players grinding for trinkets or rare rubber ducks, it’s the closest thing to a guaranteed payout in a game where loot is otherwise left to chance.

But timing is everything. The event activates in three daily slots, each lasting exactly 60 minutes

The schedule demands precision. Log in late, and you’ll miss the rush of players swarming chimneys at Town Hall or Piazza Arbusto—areas packed with multiple nests in tight spaces. The payoff? A mix of common trinkets, mushrooms, prickly pears, and the ever-elusive rubber ducks, which range from 1,000-coin staples to the Flashy Duck (3,000 coins) and Familiar Duck (7,000 coins).

Why climb for nests when the rest of the map offers nothing? Because Bird City flips the odds. While standard loot drops remain random, nests guarantee a payout—whether it’s scraps for crafting or a rare duck worth trading. The best strategy? Queue up during a slot, sprint to the nearest rooftop, and start climbing. The event may be short, but the rewards stack faster than the birds circling overhead.
